See <a href="http://meta.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=MediaWiki_1.3_comments_and_bug_reports&action=edit&section=34">here</a>. Copying:

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Perseus-slays-medusa.jpg">This image</a>, for instance, appears in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perseus_%28mythology%29">this page</a>, but does not appear under "image links".

Editing a page that links to the image seems to re-associate the link.

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Rh%2C45.jpg didn't
show a backlink to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodium.
2. I added the image to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Paddu/sandbox.
3. Now it only showed one backlink to my sandbox.
4. I added more copies of the image to my sandbox.
5. It still showed only one backlink to my sandbox.

I thought that the list of backlinks always omitted one
entry due to some off-by-one error.

6. I commented out the image in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodium (this was just for a
short duration, I was too lazy to upload an image just to
check this & then ask sysops to delete it after the experiment).
7. It still showed one backlink to my sandbox.
8. I uncommented the image from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodium.
9. It still showed one backlink to my sandbox.
10. I commented out the image in my sandbox.
11. Now it properly shows a link to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodium.

This was caused by an incomplete backup/restore during a database
crash. The image links simply need to be regenerated, and are
when the
page is edited.

This is not a software bug, but a wikipedia-specific issue.
